Another month, another book of soliciations in Alliance Distribution's Game Trade Magazine. Despite the name of my monthly post, there have actually been a few items that tickled my fancy in recent months. Of course, just about none of it has arrived at my local FLGS, so I'll leave most of the items on my secondary wish list and perhaps rename it my "Things I Want to Physically Salivate Over in Person Before I Purchase Them" list
My Must Have Want List
Osprey Publishing
Tiny Games for Kids ......................................................................................... $8.00
Tiny Games for Trips ......................................................................................... $8.00
My Things I Want to Physically Salivate Over in Person Before I Purchase Them List
Modiphius
Space 1889 RPG ................................................................................................. $49.99
Space 1889 GM Screen ....................................................................................... $24.99
English versions of the German edition with all the glitches edited out (I hope).
Osprey Publishing
The Barrett Rifle ............................................................................................... $20.00
Horizon Wars: 6mm Hard Sci-Fi Wargames ................................................... $30.00
Nazi Moonbase .................................................................................................. $19.00
Osprey just unleashes a plethora of interesting books. None are special order worthy, but I'd bet five bucks I would snag any of these if I saw them on the shelf in a store.
My Imaginary Store List (The Pegleg Gnome)
Alderac Entertainment Group
Twilight Squabble .......................................................................................... $19.99
Asmodee Games
Zombies vs Cheerleaders ................................................................................ $19.99
I'll admit that have a bias against Asmodee. So many games that 'somebody' finds cool, yet they're not within my demographic of friends. Perhaps the recent purchase of Settlers of Catan will change things. Regardless, I usually wouldn't want to stock anything distributed from Diamond/Alliance with the word cheerleader in the title, but this one looks fun and humorous.
Atlas Games
Fast and Fhtagn ............................................................................................... $29.95
Avalanche Press
Great War at Sea: Central Powers ................................................................. $29.99
Bully Pulpit Games
Fiasco 10-1, 11-2, 12-3 ................................................................................... $20.00 each
Catalyst Game Labs
Shadowrun RPG: Boundless Mercy ............................................................... $19.99
Shadowrun RPG: Rigger 5.0 HC .................................................................... $49.99
Cheapass Games
I know, I know, the definition and economics of things that are "Cheapass" changes every decade and I owned most of the originals of most of the games. I guess ten bucks is the new definition of cheapass, the fancy anniversary edition of Kill Doctor Lucky being the notable exception.
Decision Games
Folio Series: El-Alamein ................................................................................ $19.95
Folio Series: Germantown .............................................................................. $ 9.95
Folio Series: Saratoga ..................................................................................... $ 9.95

Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Special Modifications HC .............................. $29.95
Star Wars: X-Wing Minis: Imperial Veterans Expansion Pack ...................... $29.95
Talisman: Cataclysm ....................................................................................... $49.95
FASA
Demonworld Miniatures Core Rulebook .......................................................... $29.95
Demonworld: Dwarf Army Book .................................................................... $19.95
Demonworld: Thain Army Book ...................................................................... $19.95
Earthdawn: Gamemaster's Guide ..................................................................... $44.95
Earthdawn: Gamemaster's Screen .................................................................... $29.95
Earthdawn: Travar - The Merchant City .......................................................... $34.95
Fading Suns - Criticorum Discord .................................................................... $34.95
Long live the new FASA, the exact opposite of the old FASA of days past. In the 20th Century, Battletech and Shadowrun had a solid base of players you could rely on to purchase the latest releases. Nowadays, it appears that 21st Century FASA is where cool, mediocre games go to die. I remember Alliance pushing Demonworld pretty hard back in '99-2000. They may even have backstop from that release way back....
Games Workshop
As the kids were saying a few months ago, " I can't even..." If I wanted to see shelves of $200 MSRP products and tiny $30 accessories I'd go to an electronics store.

Castles & Crusades RPG: Harvest of Oaths .................................................... $ 9.99
Ultra-Pro
Fun fact about Ultra-Pro. Despite having a slew of cool CCG accessories (including metal life counters!), everything they have listed doesn't have a price. We don't know if it's $5 or $25 and that more than likely will dissuade someone from even asking about it, much less special ordering.
USAopoly

Of the many times Munchkin could have jumped the shark, this might be the longest, highest jump yet.
